Anyone going to Helmingham Hall today?

[mr noble]

Just saw the post below and am going to pop over there in an hour or so. (an miss the Grand Prix )

Call me on 0780 301 6607 if you fancy seeing the M15 again (with its mods) and having a cup of tea.

Pics to follow tonight.

Saw the M15 again. It looked great!! Better and better every time I see it.

This is the 3rd attempt at the back I have seen. Different again to the shots that Slogan put up a few weeks back. Still looks a little aukward, but I think thats more to do with the sharp angles and the rear arch swoopy thing round the wheel arch that no-one seems to like.

Sat inside and again was impressed. (apart from the position of the heater controls that are tricky to use with the gear stick in the way. Stereo and satnav system were great to use and hear.

Steve Kerridge was very impressed with it and with the way it drove! He even sold one today at the little show in Suffolk!






Watercolour. (not very happy with it now I see it on here though)

Nic pics, Greg. Have to say I prefer your car!

OK then Greg,what motor was "best" hooning down that gravel drive? And why.

[AMG Merc]

That M15 rear end is OK but that number plate needs to be shortened - doesn't look right IMHO.

Who was looking after it - anyone from the factory or was it just "entrusted" to the dealer?

[mr noble]

Stephen Kerridge from Kerridges was there with his Father.

Loads of interest.

I think the M15 and the Ford GT must have been getting the most attention.


I only got there at 2.30pm and thus, missed all the driveway action!


There were some lovely old timers there though.

I liked the Cooper 500 open wheel race car. Very cool!

If you try to use them when you are on the move, you'll find it's much more logical.

Just like Porsche's designs, most of the time you are in 4 or 6th and hence the gearstick is out of the way, and so you can put things straight behind it.

911 example, loads of stuff behind that gearstick!

I like the rear. Maybe make the plate square(?) and hide that bit between the exhausts. Thought it looked fantastic on the move on Top Gear - made the hairs on my arms prick up! Not rich enough to by one tho .
